Chateau de Cremat, private tour of the Bellet vineyard

On the Bellet hillsides above Nice, a terraced wine estate opens its interiors, cellars and art gallery for a private tour led by the house.

Chateau de Cremat overlooks a terraced vineyard facing the sea, on the Bellet plateau, one of the smallest appellations in France and one of the few to lie within the boundaries of a large city. The estate offers a private tour led by a member of the house, taking in the art gallery, the gardens, the chateau interiors and the vinification cellars.

The visit closes with a guided tasting of estate wines. Shorter formats exist, focused on the vineyard alone or on the vineyard and the chateau, along with a lunch served on the valley terrace. The estate accepts privatisation for a small group. From the port of Nice, the climb to the plateau takes around twenty minutes and leaves the city behind almost at once.
